New kernels

[xeno74]

Hi All,

I compiled the alpha2 of kernel 6.19 with networking updates (including DPAA and VirtIO-net updates), NTFS3 updates, XFS updates, HFS/HFSPLUS updates, BTRFS updates and EXT4 updates for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs) today.

Download and further information: github.com



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

The latest Git kernel doesn't boot anymore on our e5500 machines (QEMU, X5000, Mirari etc) after the PowerPC updates 6.19-1.

Error messages (QEMU e5500 VM):

It boots on the X1000.

I reported this issue to the kernel developers today.

Hi All,

Here is the alpha4 of kernel 6.19 with the first PowerPC updates for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

Download and further information: github.com



Unfortunately our e5500 machines don't boot with the alpha4 with the first PowerPC updates. I created a second package for the e5500 machines without the first PowerPC updates.

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

Here is the alpha5 of kernel 6.19 for X1000 and e5500 machines (X5000/20, X5000/40, Mirari, and QEMU VMs).

I have found the first bad commit because of the boot issue on our e5500 machines and created a patch for reverting this commit.

Please test the kernels.

Hi All,

I have released the alpha6 of kernel 6.19 with a smaller patch because of the e5500 boot issue.
